All this is going to do is keep people from purchasing the eReader DRM files.

There are books on Amazon that I would love to purchase, but i will not, simply because they are exclusive to Amazon, whether it be their proprietary format or DRM Mobi.

Sony is converting their entire library of books to the ePub format, and this will open up the Sony library to a vast number of people, regardless of device.

Barnes & Noble! Take a tip from Sony. Drop the proprietary exclusive idea. It is bunk, and will only put a stranglehold on your own corporate throats. It's moving backwards, not forwards.
Dear Griffie:

Fictionwise is aware that they NEED to be on as many devices as possible. Now, all we have to do is get B&N to go along and do what is best for Fictionwise.
